About Kristen
LCSW in Illinois and Florida with 14 years since completing a Master of Social Work, Kristen Wilson focuses on adult concerns such as trauma and abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, and addictions. She draws on client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and solution-focused approaches. Kristen’s background includes extensive work as a school social worker and clinical supervision for licensure candidates in Florida.
Kristen spent most of her clinical career working in schools, supporting students and staff with behavioral and emotional needs. Since moving to Florida she has provided psychotherapy to adults and children, and she has supervised clinicians pursuing Florida licensure. Her experience covers depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, relationship strain, substance dependence, and post-traumatic stress.
Her described style is interactive and respectful. She uses client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person’s own goals. Cognitive behavioral methods are used to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to current problems.
Solution-focused strategies are introduced when people want shorter-term work that targets concrete changes. Motivational interviewing can be used to help with ambivalence, especially around addictions or behavior change. Mindfulness-based ideas are offered to help manage anxiety, stress, and emotional regulation.
Kristen also addresses family of origin issues, body image, money and financial stress, guilt and shame, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She combines practical tools with conversation about values and goals, and adapts plans as a person’s needs change.
Sessions and scheduling follow the practice’s processes. Cost varies by location and uses a cancelable subscription model. Prospective clients select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How Kristen’s approaches shape online sessions
Kristen uses client-centered work to focus sessions on a person’s own goals and priorities. This approach keeps therapy grounded in each person’s values and daily concerns, and it fits both short and longer-term work.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, mood symptoms, panic, and problems like impulsivity or problematic substance use. Solution-focused techniques are offered when a person wants to set small, practical goals and track change over a shorter period.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Kristen will collaborate with the person to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust the plan as progress and needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. It can also make it simpler to continue care across moves within the same state, subject to licensure rules and confirmed session formats.
